Assassin's Creed Unity will be set in Paris during the French Revolution. The setting is not a complete surprise as Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag featured numerous easter eggs hinting at possible locations for future games, including the French Revolution.
Continue on to see the sneak peek video along with some of the mentions from AC IV and what it could mean for Unity.
References from Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag:
Matrilineal line - 18th Century: French Revolution. What female will they be using the memories from?
"Liberty leading the People" by Eugène Delacroix (Far right). The painting commemorates the July Revolution of 1830, with the female personfication of Liberty leading the French people over bodes representing their fallen. In her right hand is the French flag and a musket in her left.
"I'm talking about guillotines, Robespierre, and Napoleon Bonaparte in the French Revolution?" This potentially gives the first indication of historical characters the player may encounter, although many may be obvious, including Marie Antoinette & King Louis XVI among others.
One of the markers - perhaps the most prominent - is placed front and center on France.
Another reference to the 18th century, originally mentioned above with the French Revolution.
"Take for instance the daguerreotype which warped our way of seeing true life." Invented by Louis Jacques-Mandé Daguerre (with help from others), the daguerreotype process was the first photographic process to have widespread use. Daguerre may fill the role of 'helpful inventor' that has been a regular device in the Assassin's Creed franchise.
Are there any other Easter eggs or references to the French Revolution within AC IV we may have missed?
What are you hoping for in Unity?
